For anyone concerned that people who watch a ton of football have a significant advantage: my Mom, who knows very little about football, has won her work pick 'em league 2 out of the past 4 years (beating about 120 fellwo teachers last year). The first time she picked teams based on their names and colors, not kidding.

You don't have to know anything about it, I know on Yahoo pick em.....it tells you what everyone else on Yahoo is picking. You can just pick what the majority has picked and get over half right every week.

I may partake in this. I had three of the four Final Four picks right with Kentucky winning it all and my NBA picks were basically perfect (if only there had been a contest for NBA). Perhaps my luck only works with basketball as I had LSU in the National Title game in week 1 and New England in the Super Bowl in week 1 also, but they both lost. I will consider entering this as nothing would be better than winning a ticket to Bonnaroo!

Also, an update to all contestants. Yahoo has yet to open the Pro Football Pick 'em site for this year, so I have not been able to create the league yet. I will still notify you guys once it is up and running.

If he's in then I'm not wasting my money. I'm out.

If he was really that smart, he wouldn't have given us all that information. I'm still in

I was just getting ready to post an update so you guys didn't think I just abandoned the idea. Every site I can find has yet to open registration for Pick em, so I have been unable to set up the league. I figured they would open it the same time as Fantasy, but I guess they wait until closer to the season. As soon as they open registration up (I check daily) I will send out the PMs. I'm guessing sometime in August is when they will let me set up the league. Sorry its taking a while.
